Loyalty towards a system that has marched us straight to death isn't rational in the bigger picture.

I don't think we really have many options unfortunately. If everyone left the cities to go live in the woods, what would stop us from being conquered by a hostile nation? I have no doubt that the current model of society is on the brink of collapse and frankly I'm not sure what the large scale response should be towards that. We can't all be preppers unless a massive amount of people across the whole world die in tandem

I think if society as a whole adopted a prepper philosophy that might actually save us... but that's not going to happen. People aren't just going to change their attitudes and start acting responsibly with a long-term outlook.

I don't pretend to have the answers that will save us at this point - maybe nothing can. Solutions aside, it's clear the current system is an incredibly destructive failure.

Good times create weak men.

Weak men ruin the planet for millions of years, flirting with the extinction of humanity.

Don't hold your breath waiting for any 'strong men' who survive to create good times again. Perhaps it's now time for another intelligent species to eventually rise and give it a go.
